The petitions of r. w. Anderson to keep
a pool table, and S. b. Brewster as victualler
at Long Island, were granted, subject to the
City Marshals favorable report.
The petition of Daniel e. Bowen for vic
tualler's license, referred back to the City
Marshal at the last meeting, was granted I;
that Of Hugh f. Flynn was referred to the
Marshal for further report; and that OF Geo.
III. Hodgdon was refused, on the ground that
Mr.. Hodgden is not a victualler.
The board then adjourned.
In Common Council.
Absent, Messrs Murphy, Adams and Cush-
ing.
Papers from the upper board received con-
current action.
When the Back Bay order came up, Mr..
Trefethen said he knew something about
this business. When the government con-
tractor made his bid for the job he didn't bid
as low as Col. Moore, but when he found that
he was going to lose the job then he came in
and offered to do 1t for lump sum of $685.
900, the same as Col. Moore. Now he didn't
think it right to treat Col Moore that way.
Mr.. Abbott thought it strange that when
any important work was to be done it was
sent down from the upper board ON snap.
He didn't know but that the Aldermen had
digested the order. but the Council had not
had the opportunity. He believed in favor
ing your own people, instead of going to
Boston, everything else being equal. Boston
contractors exceed the amounts they con-
tract for, but Portland men are held snug up
to their contracts. He believed Col. Moore
should have the job If he can do it properly
Mr.. Spring didn't think Portland owed
much to Col Moore, judging by the gentle
mans proceedings in the legislature last win
ter, when he tried to thwart Portland. An
effort is being made, said he, to freeze out
this Boston contractor, and making him lose
money, so that he will not come in again on
the other government contracts to be made
on this same work. Then, Col. Moore hopes
to get these contracts at his own price, and il
he fails on them the government will not de-
vote any more money to the job The fact
Is, that we are not to know Col. Moore or
colonel anybody else in this matter, but get
ltdone at the best terms and in the best way
for the City of Portland.
Mr.. Dewey and Mr.. King thought the
question was who would do the Job best fol
the city, and that the Back Bay Commits
sioners were the best men to leave the mat.

merely one of his many business trips,
the question of railroad ties WAS only an
incident. It was true that more money
had been paid for these ties than they
were worth, but this was through lack Of
judgement on part of the purchasing
agent, not the result of criminal collision
to defrsud. He said that an accurate
inventory of ties on the system had been
made. 1t was found that the amount
paid in excess of the actual value is not
more than $50, 600, instead Of 81 900 600
as stated in ST. Louis dispatch. Young
Mr.. Gould continued: "The statement
that officers CT the road are implicated in
the alleged swindle and have been dis
charged is utterly false The only officer
we have lost recently is General Superin-
tendent Kerrigan, splendid railroad
map and one with whose service we dis
liked very much TO part. This resigna-
ton was entirely voluntary as he LETT 10
become contractor, in which business be
thought he could make more money"
Young Mr. Gould denied the story Of his
fathers Illness.
